“The Demon Girl Next Door 2-Chōme”, a sequel to the TV animation “The Demon Girl Next Door”.

The story becomes even more lively with the appearance of a new Magical Girl, as Ponkotsu(meaning: useless) Mazoku and the Magical Girls pursue the mystery of the missing Magical Girl.

The TV animation started airing in April 2022 and attracted a lot of attention, maintaining the attention of the first season amidst a bumper crop of spring animations, such as Temporary Family and Paripi Gunshi. It also attracted attention for its playful nature, with illustrations on the official website changing during the broadcast period.

This article reports on the TV animation “The Demon Girl Next Door 2-Chōme”.

Almost three years after “The Demon Girl Next Door” was broadcast in July 2019, it returned before disappearing from viewers’ minds. Apart from big titles, sequels are best aired within five years at the latest, not too early. As the story goes, a certain anime has started its second season after nine years. But that is too late.

In the final episode of the first season, she again challenges Momo to a confrontation, but her intentions are not conveyed at all and Momo mistakenly believes that she has been invited to play. Shamiko shows us such clunkers from episode 1. It makes you think that the animation has returned and at the same time raises expectations of what mysteries will be revealed this time.

Tangerine moves in, the girls get together and the summer holidays begin. How could it not be interesting? Mikan notices the cardboard in Shamiko’s house and connects it with Mikan’s past memories. The mystery of the Mikan curse revealed.　Sakura contact. In the meantime, Mikan and Shamiko notice a change in Momo.

New Demon appear!

The beast-eared child glimpsed in the last episode of the first season (6:41). Lico appears on the scene. And of course there is a tail. Lico is, in a word, Hannari(meaning: Elegant). She is a good cook and works in the Café Asura. As an aside, the Café Asura also appeared in the first season. She, too, has a connection with Sakura, and Shamiko and her friends are gradually getting closer to her. There was also a reason why Lico is a good cook.

The mystery of the missing magical girl revealed.

Sakura’s past is revealed by the new Demon. Secrets of Tamasakura-chan. It also made sense that Momo liked Tamasakura-chan. Ryoko’s realisation leads the story to Shamiko’s childhood. From there, it became clear that there were important clues in Shamiko’s memories, and she used her succubus’s power to enter Shamiko’s own memories. There appears an enemy who has tormented Shamiko in the past, in a pinch, but no Momo. What saviour appeared there?
